1:14:00
I can't imagine
what it was like in Jim's sub.
1:14:03
He goes through
a range of emotions.
1:14:05
He loses one robot.
Then he loses a second robot.
1:14:10
Well, we got
our ceiling scenario,
1:14:12
and we got our kite scenario.
1:14:16
The two ways we thought we could
actually lose these things.
1:14:24
And after a quick exchange,
1:14:26
we noticed the tether
coming up past our sub.
1:14:29
Genya grabs the joysticks that
control the sub manipulators.
1:14:33
And he grabs the tether
and starts winding the tether up
1:14:36
around the arms
of the manipulators.
1:14:38
This is scary.
See what he's doing?
1:14:40
If he breaks it
before he gets a wrap on it...
1:14:44
Oh, my God.
I can't watch this.
1:14:48
You're scaring me now, Genya.
1:14:50
To wind up this tether,
it took 30, 35 minutes
1:14:53
of the same motion
over and over and over,
1:14:55
winding this up.
1:14:56
35 minutes
that we've been at this.
1:15:00
- Hey!
- Let's see it.
1:15:02
I thought it was on the ground.
1:15:04
You got him.
All stop. All stop.
1:15:06
Our next task
is to take a Velcro patch
1:15:09
and slap it on top of the robot
1:15:12
with the manipulator arms
and pull the robot in that way.
1:15:16
- You got him.
- Still got it.
1:15:19
As Genya is pulling up on it,
1:15:21
the Velcro rips off the robot,
and for this brief second,
1:15:24
the entire robot was free
and starts floating back up.
1:15:27
There's no tether holding it.
1:15:29
It's free. Grab it.
Grab it any way you can.
1:15:31
Genya, the most amazing operator
of any machinery
1:15:34
I've ever seen in my life,
grabbed these manipulators.
1:15:38
He pulls it back in
and hugs it tight to the "Mir. "
1:15:41
I'm going gray over here.
1:15:44
I think he's got it
in that garage.
1:15:46
He's got the tool out.
I saw the tool. Yes!
1:15:49
Whoo!
1:15:50
Garage closed.
1:15:52
He lives another day!
1:15:54
Oh, my God!
1:15:56
I do believe
Genya deserves a raise.
1:15:59
I do believe you owe
everybody here a beer.
